This is "install-sugar-and-activities-on-the-XO for dummies" (like me). Download, unzip, install. You can install either the stable version of Sugar or the development (code-named: joyride) version of Sugar. If you want to install the development version, you have to get a developer key.

Activities (either G1G1 or all) are weekly updated to their last versions. The sugar images are manually updated.
